Endgame, whats the problem?
I don’t see any problem here.1st i can do as much pve in open world as i want from DE to world completion.From farming materials to just killing mobs for fun.If i’m bored of it i can jump directly into story dungeons.If i want challenge i will do explorable mode.If i don’t like pve i’ll do sPvP.If i hate the maps or how crowded they are then I’ll jump to tournaments.If i don’t like tPvP or sPvP then i will do WvW.
If you don’t like any of theses things then GW2 is just not for you so move on.
Right now i have 2 level 80’s and i’m leveling 2 more characters.I like to do with them everything.For me so called “End game” is not missing at all.I like how the things are!
The dungeons are mostly unfun unless you’ve got a dedicated guild of people high level enough to enjoy them (which is currently a minority)
The crafting professions are gold sinks. Most of them will never be maxed without you needed to either buy or farm some item. And once you have 400 in a crafting profession you wont be able to make anything worthwhile. (Pretty much no item sells for more than its component pieces will cost/how much you could get for them if you farm them) especially not with the 15% TP cut.
As for events they start getting really really really stale. Events at high levels are literally “Defend location from the risen [and its always the same risen enemies]” or “kill all the risen in this area”
Also dragons stop popping up once you get to orr. Claw of jormag is the highest level “world boss” and he’s across the entire world.
Oh and zhaitan was a joke. Probably the least climatic boss fight imaginable.
WvWvW has 4 hour queues for most people and they dont want to change server and leave behind friends just to get into a game on a server that is mostly likely being stomped hard.
The game is certainly fun, but it is entirely possible to run out of fun things to do when you hit 80. (Unless you like serious grind, but if you do then you’re screwed anyway because anti-farm caps)
